I think alot of people see a big ship and think they have to buy it to be competitive but have no real purpose for it. I wanted a modular fleet that could scale up and down depending on the risk and scale of mission. If we plan on going light explorin a freelancer dur and a couple of fighters moght be enough. If we plan on going vanduul hunting or salvaging in vanduul system for rare ships might need a carrack, idris, a couple of corvettes and a starfarer as a fleet to protect itself. If going large wormhole maybe a corvetter and carrack are enough.Imma let others pay their spacebux for multicrew ships and crew up as a turret gunner
really, how much fun will it be to pilot a big ship that handles like a tank buried in molasses?
I'm curious to see how many "captains" will seccussfully captain these big ships in game. I have a feeling that these boats will be mostly like:My pilots will fly it for me.. I am a Captain! I get to sit in the comfy chair in the middle of the bridge and eat my snacks while everyone else does their assigned duties! The Starfarer has proven this possible so I expect every "big" ship to be equipped like so!
I was in a party last night that started off that way, but then we took over Kereah for a couple of hours, with 5-8 inside and 2-4 providing over watch/CAS in sabers and hornets. It was pretty fun, with great communication and organization. I hope that's the case with these big ships, as well. I am looking forward to crewing on one, though.Where have you been?? You should visit Captain Richards streams on Twitch.. it's already like that... :cool:
I feel the same about the situation. I did end up with both a Pillar and a Star-G (which could become a Carrack). But I'm apprehensive about having two larger ships like that, as I want to USE the fleet I have. And I feel like having too many large ships will lead to crew requirements not being met, and ships sitting.I think alot of people see a big ship and think they have to buy it to be competitive but have no real purpose for it.

Agreed... anyway... got to go now, I heard from a random person online that the tooth fairy visited them, and said that a dog playing a banjo will be dancing passed my house later giving out leaflets saying when the new series of FireFly is coming out...No, nothing is confirmed until it comes to use directly from official sources in an official announcement.
Somebody posting something in a chat, during a podcast is not confirmation.
That was excessive. Everyone knows that there's no such thing as a new Firefly series.Agreed... anyway... got to go now, I heard from a random person online that the tooth fairy visited them, and said that a dog playing a banjo will be dancing passed my house later giving out leaflets saying when the new series of FireFly is coming out...
;)
Firefly?!? Woohoo!Agreed... anyway... got to go now, I heard from a random person online that the tooth fairy visited them, and said that a dog playing a banjo will be dancing passed my house later giving out leaflets saying when the new series of FireFly is coming out...

Ahhhhh dammit. And I got all excited.That was excessive. Everyone knows that there's no such thing as a new Firefly series.
... That.. was... my........point...Everyone knows that there's no such thing as a new Firefly series.
...no...shit...Sherlock.... That.. was... my........point...
Oooo now the colourful hippos that are dancing in my room (that were not there pre-head bang ago..) are now telling me gravity will be turned off this coming weekend to let all the lettuce's off the planet, so they can catch a connecting rainbow to their home planet of 'Alottmentonia'
I suffer the same affliction. But ya know, I'd rather have the "ooooooo, shiny" syndrome here, rather than in real life. Haha.I may melt for a Polaris. I always I like the "fleet" I have now, but dammit all the new shinies!
I don't think that'd be a huge issue. I think that there are plenty of people like me that, for what ever reason, would be excited to crew on someone else's ship.Damn, damn, damn.
Might do a mass melt. Caterpillar, Buccaneer, Cutlass, and a Polaris.
Only problem would be finding people to crew it XD
I'm starting to lean this way with a bunch of the other ships I want. We do need to have something to work towards in-game.On second thought it would be a lot more meaningful to earn it in game, especially as a group wide effort. Although might just spring for an Idris instead :shrug
